Film Synopsis
Yves and Anne Beaulieu are a happy couple like so many others. They have a child and live a harmonious existence with their mother. Then, one day, something happens to shake the couple out of their complacency. During a dinner party, one of Anne's colleagues suffers a fatal heart attack, just as he is about to enjoy a long earned retirement. Yves and Anne realise that they risk frittering the best years of their life away on work, whereas they should be enjoying the years that are left to them to the full. They agree to hold-up a supermarket, the easiest way for them to earn the money they need so that they never have to work again. Unfortunately, their attempt to get rich quick has unexpected consequences...© James Travers
